Read full description of the books:

The non-Classical long-player had a good commercial run, and The MOJO Collection, compiled by writers for the UK-published MOJO Magazine, chronologically assembles more than 1,700 definitive LP titles from the format’s history. Using brief but informative essays to highlight each album’s artistic, commercial, cultural, and stylistic merits (or sometimes demerits!), the authors trace the popular LP’s rise (1950s), dominance (1960s-70s), decline (1980s), fall (1990s), and retro revival (2000s). Added to many familiar, if not popular, titles are a considered handful of obscurities, and some curious clunkers. Minus points for some inexcusable typos and editorial missteps, but otherwise one of the more “objective” entries in the “Best Of” tradition.
